A few years ago BBC Radio Cumbria produced some programmes Romany, during which the BBC team travelled in a gypsy vardo.

Their vardo is pictured here - click on the picture to see more detail.

This picture is taken from an account of this trip in the Cumbria Life Magazine (August 2000). Details of how to obtain this and other articles about Romany are given on the Articles and links page.
